FLIR Cancelling Contract With X.Labs / Feevr
Published May 20, 2020 11:39 AM
While X.Labs announced the signing of a new agreement with FLIR on May 12, 2020, FLIR said, in response, on May 18, 2020, that they had cancelled a previous contract and are in the process of cancelling a second contract.
Fever Detection Controversy
The use of fever, or in the case of X.Labs, "feevr" detectors are growing along with increasing controversy. For example, the Washington Post declared last week "Thermal scanners are the latest technology being deployed to detect the coronavirus. But they don’t really work."
